Steam
Online gaming store/client/DRM service created by Valve corporation. Games can be bought on Steam, and there are often game sales and bonus pack deals for promotions (Bioshock sold for $10.00 on Boxing Day). There is also a social networking aspect a la Facebook, where you can make friends, join gaming groups, etc.
There are a growing number of games which are using Steam for DRM purposes. These games are, once installed, tied directly to Steam and not your computer. The pro to this is that you can play said game on ANY computer with Steam installed using your account. Games also update themselves automatically. The con is that is that Steam has to be running for the game to play, althought offline mode exists.
The other definitons are outdated and don't represent the improvements Steam has made over the years.
Steam is a great gaming service and the least obnoxious forms of DRM. Yes it is still rather slow but the pros truly outweight the cons. Secu-ROM can burn in hell.

Steaming
Moderate intoxication through alcohol consumption. Typically characterised by a noticable reduction in common sense and decision making capacity. One step above pissed on the scale of drunkenness and one below battered.
"Pull the truck up front and roll up the next blunt. So we can steam on the way to the telly, go fill my belly, a t-bone steak, cheese, eggs, and Welch's grape." - Notorious
